7. ha ha, and I think the increase in Medicare will be double that.....

That's if you get Medicare. You will NEVER get ahead. You will fall further and further behind. Food, home heating, electric, clothing, all your monthly expenses will increase by way more then that measly 1.7% Oh yah, I'm so happy for you. I haven't received my notice yet. I'm just very depressed, sorry for being such a debbie downer. I hope you spend it wisely.
